  1. Not at Sawmill and Hard they don't as I drive that route daily and I see it all the time. The crossing post counts down the seconds and that corresponds right to the light turning yellow. I watch it and use it to gauge when i stop. There have been plenty of times that I've watched the cars go through just as the light turns red as they truly are attempting to make it through and the cameras flash as they do so. There's no delay, there. Once that light turns red the only grace that's given is to those that have cleared the intersection /cross walk. Those don't get flashed. So in summary if you make it passed the markers you're clear but if not, there's no 2 second grace period that I've seen. Not at that intersection. It's ironic as I've watch people turning left get flashed. The first 1-2 cars don't because they are typically across the line, but the third driver always gets nabbed. Ironic because the first two drivers should technically be cited yet aren't.
  2. So if I steal your car and run red lights all night racking up fines you have to pay them? Yeah, that makes sense.
  3. So they are indeed off for good? The ones on Sawmill are still up and the signs are in place? In the end, I agree that they are simply a money grab. If they want to avoid the largest majority of issues, all they have to do is delay the lights so that for a few moments both lights are red. This way if anyone is blowing a yellow light there won't be anyone in the middle to hit. That's where I see 99% of the "close calls" anyway is people busting yellow lights not blatantly running red ones. The latter folks you won't likely stop even with a camera.
  4. Does anyone really think a punch from him would hurt even it it did land on target?
  5. ^^ this. Expose to the right to avoid lifting shadows like crazy. You can clip the highlights even and bring them back in raw. Just don't blow them out.
  6. No doubt you'll love the MKIII. Will it result in more keepers....meh.....depends on how you define keepers and how their used. Again, I can shoot a low light event with either the MKIII or the 7DMKII and you'd never know the difference unless you either pixel peep or print posters. 1080 x 1300 or so, no difference outside may be one extra step of PP'ing.
  7. I've hit two pot holes that caused wheel and tire damage in the past 12 years. My wife hit one in her van a couple years back. Both times for me the end cost was big as it's never just the wheel and tire. There's always an alignment needed....at least in my two cases. The wife got a new tire and an alignment out of it but the cost of just dicking around with all of it each time is just a big PIA for me as the money. That said, I do enjoy having a dedicated set of winter tires on a wheel that if it's damaged isn't a big concern. Doesn't negate the short term issues but the long term ones it does.
  8. Park your car there for a few months. He'll get the point.
  9. Haven't heard anything bad unless you miss the required service which on the DSG is at 40k miles. It's not that much $$ so just be sure to do it.
  10. ^^ ditto. I LOL at the office when I read the first two points
  11. Drive the DSG and you'll be more impressed
  12. Glad I'm not the only one thinking Easy....murder isn't just purposely cause the death of another person. Murder under the law is also causing the death of someone during an offense of that is a felony too. If you organized a street race that results in someone being dead you are no better than organizing a home invasion with the same results.

    Subscribed. PM Me too. I"m in need of some work being done too.
  14. Not yet. Just a matter of a few weeks yet. I have to turn in my current co. car (Fusion Sport) as it's over it's miles, etc. and await the funding for the new one. Shouldn't be long though. I'm okay as the weather still sucks. Once the above is done I'll find one. There are tons out there. 2013 or 2014 is what I'm looking at.
  15. Cool. Now you just need to go in with me to see if we can get a discount on a couple APR Stage II pulley and Tune deals

  17. Dude, people are always going to razz you about stuff. Embrace it for what it is. People are going to give financial advice and embrace that too. Most doing so have experiences that could benefit you. Some are also pretty savvy financially too. Deny the status piece, but I'll call it, you didn't have to buy an S4 to accomplish the below. That's okay. Translation - I'm busting your balls. No losses to cut. Leases protect you from depreciation. The overage in miles does lead to more depreciation, but that is going to be the same on the S4 as it would have been on the Honda. All you're doing is under paying for your usage. Cutting the loss now isn't actually cutting a loss as it is settling up for your underpaying. Make sense? Sounds like you've decided to ditch that car, which certainly help consolidate things. See my point under #2. That's all that matters really. ($2,500 + $2,500)/60 mos. = $83mo. + $133+14mo totals $230 per month overage for the next 60 months than where you were last week. So long as you're good with that, then cool. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_1196_zpsxwvcusxc.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_1199_zpsemvrp0ro.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_1197_zps88rs9itm.jpg Sharp car. Can't wait to get mine.
  18. He's a typical young guy Cars are > Sex as much as Sex > Cars. This is CR; a testosterone laden racing forum Cars, guys, Racing Forums and you're surprised?
  19. Needs pics of chick driving it.
  20. The variables are thickness of the cornea, size of your pupil and yes, your current refraction/Rx. Of course if you have aids, etc. anything impacting healing or on medications, those will play in too. Overall no one to really "avoid". Just read up on the multitude of reviews out there really. Worst case if Laser surgery doesn't work, implants are an option. 2-3x the cost but an option.
  21. Get an evaluation at a reputable doctor. She'll know up-front how it will perform for her or what risks might be present. Chances are if her Rx is strong she's spending $300-$500 per year or even every other for glasses anyway. Why not just pay for 2-3 yrs of glasses now, get the procedure and buy herself a 10-12 years of glasses free life. Sure, she'll eventually need glasses again at some point, but see above for the ROI. 10yrs from now ocular implants will be cheaper than they are today and she will likely go that route. I'm 45, need readers but may go ocular in a few years if I adjust well to contacts. Fighting it all off right now and this is the market I work in
  22. If I were to start over, I'd do this. Lots of my friends have done similar with the big name co's and done very very well over the years. Great offer!
  23. You're reading up on the center point issue at f/2.8? Just get one from Sonnie at MPEX and test it out. You'll know right there in the store if it's solid or not. Issue is over-blown IMO. Focus point quantity aren't as much of a concern as is the type of points. 5DMKIII is pretty solid but so is the 6D. Action shots on my 40D which is an 8yr old system even in low light will stand up to either. Ask me how I know :gabe: It's 95%+ user not the system. Dude, let's have lunch. Your low light shots with the 70D should be just fine noise wise. Especially for online use. I can shoot ISO 12,800 all day and you'd never know. Run a quick batch clean up and you're good to go. we can talk through this too.
